PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF THE FORCE, REMOVE TRANSACTIONS TRADE FEES

Ive been playing since launch and have always enjoyed all the updates in the game. But to my surprise as i return to the game i find Transaction Trade Fees? To my understanding theyre meant to fix the economy. But this doesnt help at all. The only thing i can see is traders charging even higher prices for items to offset the loss of the fee they get charged for selling high end items or god forbid cartel market items. I often give some items away for free to my friends and even newbs that just want something cool. I was trying to give my friend a market item that he liked that i bought for 130m only to be charged an ADDITIONAL 24 MILLION just to trade it to my friend for free??? Is this for real?? Many players like myself avoid selling in the gtn because we like to avoid the sales tax for whenever we sell an item through there, and the fact that a trade fee in a video game is forcing us to use the gtn instead is insane. It discourages trading AND it discourages gifting items to your friends. We shouldnt be punished for trading. The only people that can handle this type of fee are players that spend their time playing Jeff Bezos. I have credits in the billions and i still cant believe this. Please fix this immediately; you're punishing your player base and ruining the trade system, not fixing the economy.

The trade fee's were put in so people could not use the loophole to sell things outside of the GTN, and thus avoiding the credit sink.
